Bond No. 9 Madison Avenue by Bond No. 9, 3.3 oz EDP Spray for Women

The scent itself is a fresh chypre, that citrusy-woody-mossy fragrance breed that's long been favored by fashionistas, and which, like all chypres, has its own uniquely haunting couture signature. Its sparkling fruit top notes risp apple, orange-y bergamot, tangy, raisin-like blackberry will automatically raise your energy level. Then come the heart notes: a bouquet of roses as rich as silk charmeuse jasmine with the shimmer of shantung; and magnolia as smooth as satin. And last but hardly least, the base notes, with enough long-lasting sillage to get you through to late afternoon: earthy patchouli that creamy-nutty-sugary pastry confection, praline and ambroxan contemporary ambergris that's regarded as a prism through which a perfume's other facets can shine.
